Zinet’s Young Ginger Pickle

When fresh young ginger appears in the stores, take the opportunity to make these easy fresh pickles. (We also use regular ginger, if it’s very fresh and nonfibrous.) We learned to make them from our neighbor Zinet (see Zinet’s Chicken with Tomato and Greens). Buy plenty of ginger, for you’ll lose some volume when you peel it and trim off any bumps or flaws.
